Elon Musk’s company Tesla said it will provide police in Chaozhou, China with any information that could help their enquiries into an incident that saw two people killed when a car lost control
Two people were killed and a further three injured when an out of control Tesla ploughed through a city’s streets before slamming into a small truck and crashing into a building in a cloud of smoke.
Footage of the incident, which took place on November 5 in Chaozhou, China, shows the white Model Y vehicle careen at high speed through the busy area after its driver seemingly encountered problems trying to park.
The car can be seen slowly pulling into a roadside parking spot before suddenly accelerating back onto the road, reaching its maximum speed of 150km/h during the wild ride.
It struck two cyclists and two motorcyclists as it raced through the streets and nearly hit another person on a scooter, before finally slamming into the truck.
